NNA -nbsp;Poland will send an additional 2,000 troops to reinforce its eastern border with neighbouring Belarus, a deputy interior minister said Wednesday, as a record number of migrants try to cross.
quot;This will not be a reinforcement of 1,000 but of 2,000 soldiers,quot; Maciej Wasik told the PAP state news agency, adding that the move was approved by the defence minister following a request from the national border agency for extra manpower.
The troops are slated to be deployed within two weeks and will join the 2,000 soldiers already stationed near the border. — AFP
